The One Way Street events department is busy working on details for The International Festival of Christian Puppetry and Ventriloquism (July 5-10 in Bourbonnais, IL). They’ve just passed down some breaking I-Fest news! We’re excited to announce that puppet builder David Pannabecker will be joining the teaching staff at I-Fest 2010!

David is known for his creative puppet designs. David learned puppet building from one of the masters…Kermit Love, the creator of Sesame Street’s Big Bird. We’re excited to have David joining us this year!

In 1981, One Way Street held it’s first ever Puppet Ministry Festival in Denver, CO. Not long after that, other puppet festivals began popping up. First in Birmingham, AL, then Chicago, IL, and then more and more. Since then, hundreds of festivals have been held not just in the US but all over the world. So we’re really excited to be celebrating the 30th annual Denver, Colorado Puppet Ministry Festival in just a few weeks. The event will be April 23-24 at the church where it all started, Denver First Church of the Nazarene.

An awesome workshop crew is on board for this year, including Tim & Amanda Cowles, Sandy Noe, Ben Christensen, Todd Liebenow and more! We want to extend a special invitation to you to join us at this milestone festival. Even if you’re not from the Rocky Mountain Region, we’d love to have you be a part of this special event.

Welcome to One Way Street’s blog! We are excited about being able to connect with those who minister to kids using puppets and other creative arts. Through this blog, we hope to be able to offer news on training events, new resources, and offer lots of information to help you with your ministy. Thank you for stopping by and come back again soon!
